Postponement of period is better option.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern here.

As you have already overdue for your period so first you should go for home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy(if you are sexually active).

In my opinion there is no sure short way to induce period immediately, so postponement of period is better option.

For this you should start taking norethisterone tablet after consulting your doctor( if pregnancy test is negative) from today for maximum upto 2 weeks.

And when you stop taking medicine,you will get your period in 2-3 days.

Hope it is useful,feel free to ask more.

Good luck.

Regards
Dr.Richa
